CC Work Session <br />Meeting Date: 08/09/2011 <br />By: Jo Thieling, Administrative Services <br />2. 5. <br />Title: <br />Discuss Extension vs. (Request for Proposals) RFP for General Legal Services <br />Background: <br />In 2009, the City solicited proposals for attorney services for civil legal services and criminal prosecution legals <br />services. The Council selected the law firm of Randall and Goodrich, P.L.C. to serve as city attorney to provide the <br />legal services and authorized a contract between the City and the attorney. The agreement was effective July 1, <br />2009 and was valid through June 30, 2011, inclusive. <br />The agreement with Mr. Goodrich has expired and staff is requesting Council direction to extend the current <br />contract or solicit RFP's for legal services. The current (expired) contract is attached for Council review. <br />City professional services contracts are generally reviewed every 2-3 years and have generally been extended <br />beyond the initial term if the Council is satisfied with performance. The RFP process takes a significant amount of <br />staff and Council time and is recommended for larger professional service contracts of this type. <br />Observations: <br />The City Attorney has agreed to extend the contract for an additional year, under current contract rates. <br />Recommendation: <br />It is recommended that the Council consider extending the current contract for one year. <br />Funding Source: <br />N/A <br />Council Action: <br />Based upon discussion. <br />Contract for Legal Services <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 07/29/2011 05:43 PM <br />Form Started By: Jo Thieling Started On: 07/27/2011 10:56 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 07/29/2011 <br />
